Data path performance can benefit if the PMD knows which memory it will
need to handle in advance, before the first mbuf is sent to the PMD.
It is impractical, however, to consider all allocated memory for this
purpose. Most often mbuf memory comes from mempools that can come and
go. PMD can enumerate existing mempools on device start, but it also
needs to track creation and destruction of mempools after the forwarding
starts but before an mbuf from the new mempool is sent to the device.
Add an API to register callback for mempool life cycle events:
* rte_mempool_event_callback_register()
* rte_mempool_event_callback_unregister()
Currently tracked events are:
* RTE_MEMPOOL_EVENT_READY (after populating a mempool)
* RTE_MEMPOOL_EVENT_DESTROY (before freeing a mempool)
Provide a unit test for the new API.
The new API is internal, because it is primarily demanded by PMDs that
may need to deal with any mempools and do not control their creation,
while an application, on the other hand, knows which mempools it creates
and doesn't care about internal mempools PMDs might create.

Start a new release cycle with empty release notes.
The ABI version becomes 22.0.
The map files are updated to the new ABI major number (22).
The ABI exceptions are dropped and CI ABI checks are disabled because
compatibility is not preserved.

There is no reason for the DPDK libraries to all have 'librte_' prefix on
the directory names. This prefix makes the directory names longer and also
makes it awkward to add features referring to individual libraries in the
build - should the lib names be specified with or without the prefix.
Therefore, we can just remove the library prefix and use the library's
unique name as the directory name, i.e. 'eal' rather than 'librte_eal'
